Scott:

About 2'' above the water line

The 8'' hole was more than enough room to
work in

1st drill the inner liner out
2nd I took a long drill bit with an
extention and drilled a pilot hole from
the inside through the transom.Then went
outside with the hole saw . The drill bit
in the hole saw will follow the pilot hole.
I did this at the same time when I was
working on getting the water out of the
transom . More air flow to help dry it out.

My tubes were nylon. That didn't matter
because I wanted no part in having those
drains in the deck. I call them sinker
drains because those who left them in found
their boats on the bottom. Besides that if
you take a good wave over the rail; no way
will that water ever get out fast enough.
I like to keep my feet dry. I have fished
in sea's 12' high w/white caps in this 23.
I want the water going out as fast as it
comes in. I don't go out of my way to fish
in crap like that but sometimes you get
caught with your pant's down. It's day's
like that you'll be happy to have those.

I KNOW--good luck-steve
